TWENTY SEVEN KILLED.
BY Terrible Accident on the Boston
& Providence Railroad.
A Passenger Train Plunges from a
Bridge-CauSe Due tt the Collapse
of a Car II ok.

Boston special Of ,nday says: An
accident occurred Il morning on the
Dedham branch of Session 81 Provi-
dence Railroad, betwe Forest Hill and
Rosllndale, at what nown as Bussey
Park Bridge. The lock train from
Dedham, consisting even cars and &
baggage car, under of Conductor
Tilden, broke thrc re bridge. The
engine and three emit over safely
but the five othe ell through the
bridge to the road beusath, a distance Of
thirty feet. The last car, which was
the smoker, turned completely over
and struck on top of the others, all being
crushed out of shape. The smoking car,
after it fell, caught fire, but the fire de-
partment was promptly on hand and pre-
vented the spread of the flames. 1t is
stated that the bridge is comparatively a
new one, and that the accident was caused
by truck on one of the cars giving way,
causing the car to strike against the abut-
ment of the bridge.
The bodies Of the dead have all been
removed, and of the wounded some are
at the hospital and some have been taken
home, so that it is very difficult to obtain
their names and the extent of their in
juries at the present time.
The engineer, when his engine broke
from the train, kept right on to Forest
Hill and gave the alarm instead of stop
ping to ascertain the extent of the acct
dent and on that account it was possible
to get assistance at oEce. The officers of
the road are present and are doing ali
they can. Many doctors are there doing
everything in their power. Supt. Folsom
says he does not know how many were
killed or injured, but it is estimated that
at least twenty seven persons must have
persisted.

A SPRINGF1ELD, Mass, man has discov-

known-that the real mission of the mos

The water free from the wrigglers soon
became foul, but that containing them
remained sweet. So he concluded that
mosquitoes keep our swamps from be-

Mr.. Brady q Speech.

In the House of Representatives on Fri
day last, Hon. J. d. Brady, Representative
from the Petersburg District, delivered
the most effective and forceful speech we
have read for long time. 1t was con-
else yet comprehensive arraignment Of the
Democratic party for its uniform hostility
to those measures upon which the pros
perity of the South depends. From the re-
cord Mr.. Brady showed how the South had
been misrepresented for long years, and
how the very legislation which the people
of that section demanded, had been oppos-
ed by the party that depended upon
southern votes to place it in power.
Citing the Blair Bill, he showed what
boon it would be to the South, and then
pointed to the fact that its passage was OPP
posed by the National Democratic plat
form and favored by the Republican plat
form that it had twice passed Republi-
can Senate to find its grave in the Demo
cratic House.
Upon the question of the Internal Reve-
nue., he showed that Notwithstanding
the demand for the abolition of the system
by the majority Of the southern states.
and the promises of the Democratic speak
ers, every motion looking to the repeal Of
the law, had been uniformly smothered in
Democratic House that the Democratic
Ways and Means Committee reported that
the tax should not be removed, !" and de-
clared the system should be maintained
until every dollar of pensions had been
paid.
With force and earnestness Mr.. Brady
dwell. upon the tariff; the benefits the
South would derive from protection and
the attitude of the respective parties in
reference to this most important of public
questions.
n He also referred to the promise of the
Democratic party to make sweeping re.
moval Of political disabilities. and thus
wipe out the ''only remaining cause Of IT.
ritation in the South. 4" He, himself, in
troduced bill to accomplish that object
and it was promptly referred to the Judi
ciary Committee, and never afterwards
heard of.
i The increased expenditures under the
stReform" administration; the cowardly
action of the House on the Mexican pen.
sion bill, and the discrimination against
the Norfolk Navy Yard in providing fol
the building of the new vessels, and Other
measures in which the Southern people are
deeply concerned, were brought prominent.
4 ~ to the attention of the public, and the
hostility Of the Democratic party to South
ern interests demonstrated from the re
cord.
4 Mr.. Brady fortified each count of his in.
dictment with valuable official statistics
and citations. The argument throughout
was clear, convicing and marked by q
force and ability too seldom employed by
congressional speakers. There were nc
flowers Of rhetoric, no attempt at mere de-
olamation. or the display of erudition, but
plain, practical. common sense, truthful
presentation Of facts that cannot he denied
and which in themselves constitute the
severest arrangement of the Democratic
party that could be written. It is speech
that should be in the hands of every voter
in the South, and its author is entitled te
the thanks of Southern people without dis.
tinction Of party.

Northern Capital in Virginia.

A special dispatch to the Norfolk Yer
gissiaas, dated at Philadelphia On the 9Th,
gives the following important statement
of the movement of Northern capital to
Southwest Virginia Capitalists in Phil
adelphia. who are prominently identified
with the Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company, have made investments in min
eral lands in Southwest Virginia, ranging
from 50 500 900 to So, 100000. These in
vestments are to great extent in Wythe
county, twelve miles from Wytheville, and
on the Sanders and Foster Falls farm
near Jackson Ferry. The ore discoveries
there are the finest known in the country,
yielding high in the percentages of iron,
and in some places the veins show twenty
three feet Of pure ore. It is the intention
of the capitalists interested to locate two
furnaces at this point, which will have an
annual capacity of 100000 tons. When
these have been finished the company
which these capitalists have formed will
erect plant for the production of iron
and steel in manufactured form. This
plant. it is declared, win be second only
to the Pennsylvania Steel Works, in this
State. The total investments of Phila-
delphians in Southwest Virginia, when
this plant has been completed, it is esti-
mated, will reach between SO, 900 900 and
81 ,0o0. 900. The cost of making a ton of
iron in this section of Virginia is esti-
mated at $3.50, against $3.50 in Alabama
and 1925 in Pennsylvania.
We are not surprised at this statement.
1t is what We have been expecting for
several years and we have endeavored to
impress upon the Virginia mind the great
wealth which lies hidden in our mountains,
that was destined to be utilized, if not
by our own energy and means, certainly
by others. The management of the Nor
folk and Western have been directing their
attention to the mineral resources of the
section contiguous to their main line and
projecting feeders to accommodate the
localities where the ores are found in great
variety and abundance. The construction
of the Cripple Creek extension exposes one
of the most remarkable iron regions in the
country, land Northern capitalists have
promptly availed themselves of the advan-
tages thus presented for profit. The ores
are the Bessemer and hematltes, and the
invitation they.present has already induced
a plan for the erection of two furnaces
Limestone is found in ample quantities
and of the lest quality close by the
coke of the Flat Top coal fields is of easy
reach and can be laid down at the pro-
posed furnace at So so per ton. New Riv-
er runs in close proximity to the mineral !
deposits, and in fact everything that is
needed for great iron centre, except the |
capital, is furnished by nature.
We look for great industrial activity in |
,he Cripple Creek section within the next |
,welve months. Cities will follow the
erection of the furnaces. and the wonder
'ul natural wealth and attractions of
Southwest Virginia will draw enterprise
md population, until the Cripple Creek
egion will become the seat Of unsurpassed
FoWth and prosperity.

Since the above was prepared. another
movement has been made by the Republi-
cans, which gives them decided adyan-
tage in the situation. On Monday the
House and nineteen Republican Senators
met in joint convention. The House pro-
ceeded to count the vote for Lieutenant
Governor, when it was ascertained that
Robinson, the Republican candidate, was
elected by 5000 majority. He was for
mally sworn in, addressed the Convention,
and then on motion, adjourned over till
yesterday, when ballotting was to COM
mence for United States Senator. The
Democrats protested against the proceed
ings, but to no effect. 1t is possible that
there will be two Legislatures, but the
Republicans have the law, the constitu-
tion. the decision of the courts, and a
majority of the people on their side The
outcome will be Republican victory and
